Lots of reviews have been showing up for this unit lately, but your teardowns are the best, showing us the quality of design and construction. Thanks! I've used your example with my electrophoresis PS. It is very capable (4000V, 200mA), but limited because it tests for a maximum of 5M ohm in circuit before applying voltage. I've found the circuit for the test, which I need to fool. I miss your repair and construction videos. Your examples have helped me several times.

Curious. Why would they use such an expensive 1230MSPS DAC in a product specified as 200MSPS? No doubt UNI-T don't pay $40 a piece but it would still represent a big chunk of the manufacturing cost (perhaps < $150?) for a product retailing at $350.That's on top the FPGA which I don't suppose is cheap and the LCD display. The THS3092 opamps are listed at $6.5 each by TI @ 1K, so another $13 there. Perhaps it's a lower speed model of a range of AWGs and they opted for the economies of scale to use the same board for all types. Seems a bit of a stretch though. It would be fascinating to know what volumes they expect to sell. I can't find any reference to a GS333 comparator (Gainsil?); what might they be used for?

It looks well made and a solid design but the massively oversized box makes the whole company look like a complete joke.

its their form factor to stack with other equipment, sure they could have made it slim and thin but where you put it then on the bench alongside other stuff? i even would have put a brick inside to make it heavy and not slide around when pressing buttons.

Yeah, it's definitely meant to stack with other equipment from various manufacturers. The size is pretty standardized in the test equipment space. If it's just skinny like the other model, how do you stack it?

@@gamerpaddy The trend is to have equipment much thinner. I guess if you have a retro oscilloscope and an old HP multimeter this would fit fine. I'd rather have vesa mounts and a lot more bench space.

then get the other model??uni-t makes two for that exact purpose. you looking at the stackable model and complain that its stackable. i have 3 units (not uni-t but others) sitting in a shelf above my workbench, 2..3 ontop of eachother, no space for vesa mounts. i wouldnt know where to put the slim model.

@@gamerpaddy Maybe they could put a pie warmer in there? Make some use of the space.
